More Freedom Food: 50 Pounds of Pears

(Edited)

A friend has more pears than she can handle, so when she learned I canned, too, she offered me a whole big box of pears. Every day I need to check for ripened ones and decide what to make.

Yesterday's project resulted in pear sauce with a touch of honey. I canned some, then added brown sugar to the rest and cooked it down to pear butter.

Some of the pears I sliced thin and put into my electric dehydrator. Dried fruit makes a great snack.

The pears were a gift. I just added some flavorings, water, and energy.

That is *the best* gift to receive. Those small blessings continue to pour in when you have a grateful heart! The pears look delicious although I have never tried pear butter. It will be on my list to add to the pantry shelves.

Thanks. I prefer the taste of pears over apples, so I am really grateful for this abundance. !CTP

I've canned lots of pears over the years, and I've made pear jam, but I don't think I've ever made pear butter. I should try it next year.
